Recommended Classes
FlexGE students are encouraged to take a full credit load (about 12–14 credits per semester in fall and winter or 6–7 credits per term in spring and summer). Here are some highly recommended courses for new FlexGE students:
| Course | Description |
| A Cornerstone Religion course (Rel C 200, Rel C 225, Rel A 250, Rel A 275) | These classes are required for BYU students and can be taken in any order. Students are recommended to take one religion class per semester. |
| WRTG 150: Writing and Rhetoric | This is a required class for BYU students and is recommended for students to take in their first or second semester. This class teaches students to write effective papers for university classes. |
| STDEV 109: Effective Study and Learning | This is an elective class. Students who take this class learn tips and tricks to get better grades while spending less time studying. |
| STDEV 117: Career Exploration | This is an elective class and is highly recommended for students who are unsure what major to choose. Students learn to connect interests and skills to majors and careers. |
Building a Full Schedule
Most FlexGE students take one or more daytime classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center to free up some evenings for clubs, volunteer work, or social activities. Classes at the Salt Lake Center usually meet only once a week, so pairing two or three in one day can open up your schedule quite a bit without requiring many trips. And travel to the Salt Lake Center is easy and free with your student ID.

Transfer and AP Credit
If you have transfer, AP, or concurrent enrollment credit, you can request the school or organization from which you earned it to send the credit to BYU. Once processed, your credit will appear in the MyMAP registration system and indicate the requirements it will fulfill. If your transfer credit does not yet appear in MyMAP, you can check individual transfer classes on the Transfer Equivalency Search. AP credits can be checked on the AP Exam Guide.
